Swollen ankles for past 3 weeks ,just got over a chest infection and still breathless at times?

See doctor: If you're still short of breath and have swollen ankles you need to have a check up of your heart to make sure it's OK. Sometimes viral infections can affect the heart. Also high blood pressure can. Don't delay!
